Our Sourcing Practices


FARM-TO-FORMULATION
SOURCING BEST PRACTICES

We have an in-house sourcing coordinator that actively seeks out the highest quality materials, many of which are sourced domestically from certified organic farmers. We also work directly with suppliers from around the world who process native plants for us. 

WE MEET THE FOLLOWING:

  • PETA cruelty-free
  • GMP compliant (Audited by FDA) 
  • Registered as OTC drug manufacturers with FDA
  • Supported by Texas Department of Agriculture (GO TEXAN)
  • Formulated by us -- Manufactured by us
  • 100% naturally-derived ingredients where possible
  • No artificial garbage (the list is too long)
  • Committed to consumer safety means some formulas that contain water or that are used around eyes may require us to use safe synthetic preservatives, guaranteeing the product's integrity and protection. Natural preservatives don't guarantee safety.

OUR SUPPLIERS MEET SEVERAL OF THE FOLLOWING:

  • GMP
  • Cruelty-free 
  • USDA organic
  • Vegan
  • Gluten-free
  • Non-gmo
  • Kosher
  • Halal
  • Fair trade

OUR QA & SUPPLIER VETTING PROCESS
Some of our sourcing best practices include a strict vetting system:
  1. Signing our Cruelty-Free Agreement (vegan and no animal testing)
  2. Requiring COAs and SDS for each lot we order
  3. Investigating if whether non-disclosed ingredients are present
  4. Organoleptic evaluations during material check-in and while actively used in the lab
  5. Look for discrepancies in supplier's business process and QA over time
  6. Maintain close relationships with the supplier/processor
